Amazon.com Product Description
High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg chromatic tuners the worldwide favorite. And now, the new Korg CA-30 joins the best-selling CA series of tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and marks for pure major thirds and minor thirds, the CA-30 digital tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into ultra-compact bodies.

Plenty of features and functionality in a small package. Click to enlarge.

High-precision LCD meter and LEDs to indicate pitch deviation.

Built-in speaker for reference pitches.

Wide Range of Pitch Detection
This compact chromatic tuner supports a broad range of C1 (32.70 Hz)-C8 (4186.01 Hz), allowing speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments. This hand held tuner is ideal for tuning even low-register notes containing numerous overtones that are often difficult to tune. A high-sensitivity microphone is built-in to this chromatic tuner, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic instruments such as ukuleles. A separately sold CM-100 contact microphone can also be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even more accurate tuning.

Ultra-compact body with a "Tilt Slit"
Although the CA-30 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The CA-30 chromatic tuner packs the functionality needed for tuning a wide range of instruments. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped "tilt slit" that lets you insert a plastic card for use as a handy stand.

High-precision LCD Meter
The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.

Sound Out
In addition to visual tuning via meter, the Korg CA-30 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle through the A4-Bb4 notes, commonly used for tuning wind instruments. Alternatively, you can hold down the Sound switch to change the cycle to the semitone intervals from C4 through C5 (one octave), allowing reference pitches for any instrument to be sounded quickly.

Adjustable Calibration
The Calibration function (410-480 Hz) of this chromatic tuner supports a wide range of standard pitches, and can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps for accurate and flexible tuning to any song or key. Thanks to the Memory Backup function, the Calibration and reference pitch are remembered even when the power is turned off. (However, these settings will be initialized when the batteries are replaced.)

Auto Power Off Function
The power will turn off automatically if the unit is left powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.

Approximately 100 hours of Continuous Use Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

Three Year Warranty
Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg USA authorized dealer now have a three year warranty.

3 out of 5 stars Mostly ok, but....   February 12, 2010
MimiG (Pacific NW)
For the most part, this tuner works fine. But it has a few eccentricities that I find absolutely maddening. Numerous times this Korg has turned itself on in my gig bag and re-calibrated itself and I haven't caught it because the lighting is often poor and it has no back light. It is not a pleasant experience to get on stage, start to play and realize your band is at 440 and you are at 438 or 444. On a few occasions, I've also had it decide my autoharp is a step or two out of tune, and after tuning up, once again find I am way out of tune. So I've reached a point I will only use this in bright light and have back up tuners. I did like that I could plug it in. If I could find a tough clip on with a backlight on that would plug in... that would be perfect.


5 out of 5 stars Had it for years.   February 4, 2010
J. Guevara (CA, USA)
I have had this tuner for about a decade, since it came out. It is sensitive to ambient noise. But if you have a relatively quite area to tune in or an instrument like an electric bass/guitar it does work with the use of one nifty little cable that plugs into the "input" slot. Own a violin and bass guitar and never had a problem with it. Would keep it for decades to come if it lasts that long...which I'm pretty sure it will!


1 out of 5 stars OK, But not durable. Meaninless Warranty   January 14, 2010
MiBassman (West Michigan)
I bought one of these tuners three months ago. I have had good luck with other Korg products including tuners. This tuner started operating intermittently and would quit at the worst times (on stage). It has a three year warranty, but, you must buy Korg tuners from an authorized dealer or you are out of luck. At this point I'm not impressed with the tuner or Korg. My replacement tuner will not be a Korg.


4 out of 5 stars Great little tuner for the $$   January 7, 2010
Michael B. Bingham (Skagit, WA)
I use this tuner mostly for amateur piano tuning and it does a wonderful job and it's easy to use. My sister borrows it for finding the perfect pitch singing and my neighbor bums it for his guitar. All around great and you can't beat the price!


5 out of 5 stars Great price, quality tuner   December 19, 2009
Mitchell W. Barratt (Detroit, MI, USA)
Great price for a great tuner. This thing is durable and the battery lasts forever!
